in the LIMA-SVB. We believe that a valveless segment is preferable, and the diameter of the SVG should match the LIMA as closely as possible. In the ongoing prospective-randomized clinical trial AMI-PONT (ClinicalTrials.gov NCT01585285 [5], CIHR funded), we are assessing whether the LIMA-SVB patency is not inferior to the conventional CABG strategy combining a separated LIMA graft to the LAD an...

The left internal mammary artery (LIMA) is the most commonly used arterial graft for coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery, and occluding the LIMA side branches during surgery is important to avoid myocardial ischaemia afterwards. In this study we investigated the incidence of patent LIMA graft side branches in our coronary angiography series, and compared LIMA flow rate changes by means ...

Lectins are cell-binding and agglutinating (glyco)proteins found in a variety of living forms. They will be defined here as homogeneous carbohydrate-binding (glyco)proteins principally of plant (seed) origin but also occurring in invertebrate (and vertebrate?) forms. In recent years, lectins have been employed in studying a wide range of biological phenomena including cell differentiation and m...

To determine the impact of left anterior descending-competitive flow (LAD-CF) on distal coronary flow (LAD-DF) and on left internal mammary artery-graft flow (LIMA-GF), we performed a quantitative blood-flow analysis in a swine model of a LIMA-to-LAD coronary artery bypass graft (CABG). In six swine, a LIMA-to-LAD CABG was performed. LAD blood-flow was measured bilaterally to the LIMA-to-LAD an...
